Brazilian Music Work Shop


Nilson has provided presentations for a wide range of audiences and professional musicians. His workshops are molded to reach and help a high level of professional musicians and college students as well. That results in a full knowledge of how to play technically in all styles and also a better understanding of Brazilian culture and music. The clinic can be for ansembles or individual insrumentalists.

The high level of professionalism that Nilson gives to his workshops provide a first hand look at true artistry. Nilson has been teaching workshops and Master Classes for the past 10 years at Bass Collective in New York City, Montclair University in New Jersey and Master Class in Asia, Europe and USA.


NILSON MATTA and Tenor Saxophonist HARRY ALLEN are also available for Master Classes and Clinics.


Together they have BASS/TENOR - SAMBA/JAZZ. This Master Class/Clinic involves explanations, examples and teaching about playing and improvising Jazz, Samba and Bossa Nova styles.

After the success of their Master Class in Taiwan in the summer of 2006 they decided to continue working together as a Duet. There is a great interaction and affinity of Brazilian and American music. The beauty of the sound from the bass and tenor and their personalities result in a perfect combination.
